Are you a generally well-functioning teen or adult (or a parent with a child) who is experiencing ordinary life stresses? Are you feeling anxious or overwhelmed by trying to balance school, work and social activities with personal responsibilities? Are you lacking in motivation, self-confidence or unable to find purpose and meaningfulness in your activities? Or ... are you feeling generally okay but languishing?

Feeling stuck, unhappy, and riddled with worry? You are facing a significant change in life, but the worry, uncertainty, and fear are making you feel crazy. It feels contradictory to be excited and hopeful about this new phase, but also terrified and discouraged. You can’t help but compare yourself to how everyone else is feeling, which typically does not make you feel better. It feels frustrating, disappointing, overwhelming, lonely, and sucking the life out of you.

I have been in the helping profession for close to 20 years. My goal is to pay it forward. I provide a safe, trusting environment, and free of biases and judgment. I work at a pace that is comfortable for you, and with the hope of helping you find the skills to heal. My specialty is rooted in attachment theory complimented with a holistic, strength-based, and solution-focused perspective. We all tend to cling to the inner child in us, more so when we experience abandonment, rejection, grief, and loss of safety. Let’s recognize these feelings, heal the inner child and give yourself permission to heal in the here and now.

We all have untapped resilience. Adversity can be a gift. As a therapist my goal is to help you live your life with improved relationships, better agency, and more joy. Change is possible at any stage of life. We are all life-long learners. Often the first step is feeling understood. During this global health emergency, I have shifted my practice to a secure audio-visual platform. I am pleasantly surprised at the intimacy this modality provides. Although nothing can replace meeting in-person, telehealth has its own value and potential for change. Now especially I wonder: Who doesn't feel the need for increased human contact?
